In boys competition, Tooele finished ninth with 91 points, Grantsville 10th with 71 points and Stansbury 11th with 63 points. “The team did about what I expected. We wanted a top five finish for the girls and the boys to be in the top 10,” said THS coach Mel Roberts. “We have a team with a lot of pretty good swimmers, but not great ones. They fought and scratched for every point.” Stansbury’s Garrett Hillman shined at the meet with a second place finish in the 500 freestyle, and a third place finish in the 200 freestyle. Grantsville’s Tanner Higley placed fourth in the 100 breaststroke. Tooele sophomore Cassidy Evans placed sixth in the 100 breaststroke.
